But why did you claim it was corrupted? This is why it is so
important not to draw conclusions. The firefox directory will
certainly change in size - it contains for example the cache,
and some other stuff that is populated on the first run. I think
this is entirely a red herring.
SmartMenu is a tool that RMLoads two modules, WimpSWIVe and SmartMenu.
Its use is to open submenus to the left instead of to the right, when
the menu is right from the middle of the screen.
While I write this, looking in the !Run File of !SmartMenu, I realise
that probably not SmartMenu but WimpSWIVe is the cause of the problem,
that would explain why it does not help to RMKill SmartMenu.
So the thing to try here would be obvious - does unloading it
allow it to run? But at least now the cause becomes a bit more
obvious - in order to do its job, it would have to intercept Wimp
SWIs and mess with flags, which is bound to cause problems somewhere,
especially with the many changes to the RISC OS 6 Wimp. The way
ChoX11 creates windows and menus is a bit non-standard, but entirely
legal, so that could upset it too.
Such functionality would be a good candidate for proper inclusion in
the RISC OS 5 Wimp sources.
